I want a late-ass Ring sequel just to "oh yeah?" all the gags about screen size. I wanna see a full-size hand reach out of a phone screen and snap someone's wrist.

Or the same issue with smart watches, which are basically just a ghost glory hole.

Anyone watching video on a watch doesn't deserve seven days. Just kill them now.

I remember summers 2002~2004 ... I had Nokias 7650 & 3650 ... with a 2" 176×200 screen ... on vacation I watched movies on it!

The PC software could transcode any video to that resolution, so that's what I did, iirc I got 3 movies (space was tight back then, and memory cards expensive), but I also always has a lot of pics.

Anyway, she didn't answer, never called back, stood me up on the seventh day ... young romance, what can you do (but close your heart a bit more).

Different times. I'm not sure Kids These Days™ will ever know how hard it was to get downloaded video out into the world. Just showing it on a television was an ordeal.

Apple released an iPod with a 60 GB hard disk and a color screen and it still didn't play videos. Someone converted the new Episode III trailer into an MP3 and a slideslide of four thousand JPGs, and scrolled through it at about the right speed, and it was jawdropping. I watched their camcorder video of that event as a downloaded .MOV file - Apple's own video format, at least a decade old, then a de-facto standard online - because Youtube did not exist. A few short years later the Wii got a Youtube channel and it was the coolest fucking thing to watch random internet videos, ten minutes at a time, on a television three feet thick.

But nowadays? Everything's an LCD, everything's USB-C or HDMI, everything has wi-fi even if it shouldn't. Watch the spooky murder video on your smartphone, you maniac.

That last one is hilarious. Imagine having a tiny Sadako running around trying to drown people or whatever, but she's small so it really just ends up keeping everyone hydrated
